Nope. That's what it says it is; an E-Stay Killi Racer.

Nice.

In 1991 Saracen did the Kili-Flyer, Traverse Comp and Conquest all in e-stay, think these may have lasted a second year and then they went back to good old triple triangle...my Gallery has a '91 Traverse Comp in it that I've still got the frame for somewhere....

And didn't they combine the E-stay design with square tubing, also - for double the "niche-factor"?

Yup...the Conquest was a Pace-esque 7000 Series 'square' tubed bike, only ever saw one in a catalogue and lusted after one for years.....would LOVE to see a real one

I thought so. They stocked pretty much the entire range in M&P's BITD.
But it's a very different shop nowadays :roll:

Saracen built some beautiful bikes in their day.

Sometimes change is for the best. Other times it's not.
